To clean print cartridges manually

Poor contact between the print cartridges and the print cartridge cradles can also affect the quality of the printout. When this occurs, try cleaning the electrical contacts on the print cartridges and print cartridge cradles.

1.Remove the print cartridge from the printer. (See Replacing the print cartridges.)

2.Clean the electrical contacts on the print cartridge cradle with a dry cotton swab.

3.Carefully clean the electrical contacts on the print cartridge with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the electrical contacts, you should wipe the contacts only once. Do not wipe the ink nozzles on the print cartridges.

4.Reinstall the print cartridges.
